Iranian Filmmakers expect Ahmadinejad's revenge

Ramin, a reader of CWB in Tehran writes us in an email ”Iranian  
Filmmakers and actors and actresses that opposed Ahmadinejad in the  
recent Iranian presidential election by supporting the moderate  
Mirhossein Mossavi, are now scared of Ahamadinejad's revenge. Almost  
no one in the Iranian film community expected Ahmadinejad’s win and  
now they believe this will bring about darker days and more restricted  
censorship [to Film].

Iranian filmmakers and actors and actresses, in a video called Green  
Stars posted on Youtube, went far enough to tell their audiences that  
a future with Ahmadinejad will be a disaster for art and for the whole  
country. Looking at brutal beatings and vast number of arrests of  
those objecting the election results makes the future of those  
involved with art in Iran grimmer”
